[''Our entire hockey staff is very excited about the addition of Jose Theodore,'' Avalanche president and GM Pierre Lacroix said in a statement. ''With this acquisition, we are convinced that we are securing our goaltending position for many years.'']

Ever since the end of the 2005 draft Pierre has made some very unpopular moves; not buying out Blake thus losing Forsberg or Foote, signing Brad May, and this perplexing trade for Theodore, who's injured, no less.

Theodore better play his ass off next season or Lacroix will have some explaining to do.
